Wine Country Connections, a collective of wedding and event professionals who work in Sonoma and Napa’s wine country, gathered in late August to celebrate and promote their mission: education, professional support and collaboration, networking.

We had the pleasure of sharing a warm summer evening at Clos du Bois Winery, in the breezes, before the sunset, under that stars. Also, some Marlstone, the completely epic Bordeaux style red from Clos, with its deep, inky ruby red blackberry and cherry lusciousness might have been poured into our glasses. To one’s health!

Our big thanks, to the following folks:

-For these lovely images (he never fails to make our posies look pretty) our friend and colleague, Curtis Myers, Perfect Circle Photography

-To the founders of Wine Country Connections, Robin Hawkey and Michael Peterson

-Our gracious hosts Jessica Boldt, Events in the Vines; Jennifer Tusa and Robyn West, Clos du Bois

-The diva of setting a table, Ann Marie Curran, Wine Country Party & Events
